PREFACE. \ \ \ \ JE have thought it desirable, for reasons which have already been sufficientl y explained elsewhere, to issue the Freemason in half-yearly, instead of yearly volumes, and therefore the agreeable duty now devolves upon us of expressing our sincere thanks to our readers for the uniform kindness and consideration they have been in the habit of extending towards us in our endeavours to maintain and promote the well-being of the Craft. To this end we have devoted all our energies and such ability as we possess, and the almost dail y increasing support we have received, and are receiving, inclines us to the belief that our efforts have not been entirely unsuccessful. Under the new arrangements vve shall pursue the same policy as in past years, and at the same time we shall avail ourselves of every opportunity that presents itself to make this Journal , as a literary compilation , as a record of events, and as the true reflex of the best Masonic opinion of the day, more and more the representative organ of the Craft in this country . In these endeavours we hope to win still higher favour with the brethren, and that in' the future, as in the past, they will exhibit their approval of our work , and continue to give us, but in an increased ratio, their kind support and patronage. 16, GREAT QUEEN STREET , W.C, 6 th July, 1889 .
